system or in the towing bracket, contact a
specialised workshop and ask them to

bracket under any circumstances.
CAUTION
If you clean the vehicle with high-pressure
or steam devices, do not point the jet di-
rectly to
wards the retractable tow hook or
the trailer power socket, as this may dam-
age the joints or remove the grease neces-
sary for lubrication.

hook may be impossible to operate
. In this
case, place the vehicle in a warmer loca-
tion (for example, a garage).

Always read and take the manufacturer
assembly instructions into account.
